It has long been speculated that Ford would offer a variation of its turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine in the F-150, and now it\u2019s official.<\/p>\n

In a release touting the latest four-cylinder EcoBoost offerings planned in the European C-Max, 2011 Edge, and the next Explorer<\/a>, Ford said it has retooled the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 for rear-wheel-drive application in the F-150. The engine is expected to launch by the end of this year and the marketing department is surely readying its campaign as Ford says the 3.5-liter will offer best-in-class fuel economy with the power and tow rating of a V-8. No other details have been released, but be on the lookout for a slow and prolonged trickle of power ratings and official fuel-mileage numbers.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Ford announced that is has upped its overall expected EcoBoost engine production. By 2013, the Dearborn-based automaker anticipates it will be making some 1.5 million four- and six-cylinder EcoBoost engines, which is about 200,000 more than initially expected. Hopefully, a fair number of them will find their way into high-performance applications like this mean little Fiesta our spy shooters recently caught<\/a>.<\/p>\n
